Forums - Sony - uncharted 2:among thieves , launch sales and year end sales?

i'm thinking 750k opening 2mill before years end but this is what i hope it will be



Okay, let's look at some data to begin with.

First, when do we expect Uncharted 2 to release? Early December, like the first game? October, like in that thread from the random guy who claimed to have gotten an email (and promptly left out inFamous...)

Let's go with December 2nd, around the same time Uncharted released, on a userbase of ~9 million PS3s. GameStop broke the release date (the pricks), and so we got some pretty skewed first week sales:

Week 1 16,494 32,289 85,100 133,883
Week 2 9,764 54,342 110,708 174,814
Week 3 7,441 42,087 129,378 178,906
Week 4 6,153 44,224 83,792 134,169
Week 5 7,002 45,105 53,486 105,593

We can assume that won't happen again. Also, let's assume a userbase of 29 million PS3s when Uncharted 2 comes out.

I think that Uncharted would have done around 400k first week, if the release was not messed up. So, I say 750,000 is reasonable, though it could be as low as 500k. It should see some very good holiday sales, like the last game, and could be anywhere from 800k-1 million by year's end.

Of course, it depends on userbase, advertising, release date and competition.

depends on the date it launchs, but maybe like 600k first week. 1.8 million (probbaly 2 mill) years end. 4 mil lifetime



I think this game will get good reviews.

It's Naughty Dog, and it will be bigger and better than the original (which was very good).

With that said - This games gonna have legs and continue to sell well after it's release.

im going to say at least 300k, 1st week sales



Whatever happens, just buy the game.



Worldwide - 350k first week

End of year - 1.2 million.



 

unless there is a lot of bundles or PS3 price cut to $299 I don't really think it will outsell the first one but it will sell very good much like R2



launch sales 1 million worldwide. 2 million end of year.
